So it's not an engagement ring but maybe something better for the ever-patient Mirka Vavrinec.
Roger Federer announced his long-time girlfriend is PREGNANT via his website:
Dear Fans
I arrived in Indian Wells earlier this week and I am eager to get back out on court. My back is feeling much better and I am ready to go.
I also have some really awesome news to share with all of you: Mirka and I are excited to let you know that we will be parents this summer! Mirka is pregnant and we are so happy to be starting a family together. This is a dream come true for us. We love children and we are looking forward to being parents for the first time. Mirka is feeling great and everything is going well.
Speak soon and thanks for all your continued support!
Roger
OMG - I really thought they were pregnant last year, or at least trying, after the rumors and the mysterious weight gain. Maybe something happened then.
But in any case congrats to RoKa and thanks to Pamela for the tip off!!!
PS - I'm putting my hat in the ring and offering up names: Ralph for a boy, Lauren for a lady. Perfection for the preppy fashionista!
DO TELL!
OMG!! Congrats to the happy couple! I'm sure their baby will inherit some very beautiful locks :)
ReplyDelete>>PS - I'm putting my hat in the ring and offering up names: Ralph for a boy, Lauren for a lady. Perfection!<<
ReplyDeleteLOL! That would be nice!
But I thought something like Roland for a little boy and Paris for a girl?
Wouaaah i can't believe it!!! A baby for Roger!
ReplyDeleteRalph and Lauren it's soooo cute but too cute for them
Maja: I totaly agree, Roland and Paris!!!! Just good memories for Roger!
But the best thing would be RAFAEL for a boy and for a girl...RafaelA??
johanne: that's true - no hairy situations in that fam.
ReplyDeletemaja: HA! though he may not enjoy his new child if he never wins that major. you know, bad reminder and all!
I'm soooo not liking Ralph. I'm thinking Ana Wintour for a girl and Roger II for a boy. I can see Fed being that kind of man.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, can imagine the next player dubbed to be "baby Fed" really is Fed's baby? lol
Congrats. That's very sweet.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they don't name their kid after a fruit, vegetable, or city, OR give it a ridiculous spelling of it's name, I'm okay with whatever name they choose.
Like apple, orange, raspberry, mango? i kinda like mango. MANGO FEDERER. It's tropically Swiss.
ReplyDeletePamela: Yeah, no pressure at all on the little kid...
ReplyDeleteI sure hope they keep it simple with the name!
I couldn't stand another "Princess Tiaamii" or "Bronx Mowgli"
And for the fruity names: Do you really think Mirka would name her child anything else then Blackberry?
Also, brilliant PR work from Fed and his camp (as far as timing is concerned). This should be enough of a distraction to at least calm the questions re: AO final & Rafa.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh...Maja. *laughs* You had to go there, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she'll communicate with the kid in utero via her Crackberry?
maja: blackberry of course, duh!
ReplyDeleteJohanne: I agree, excellent timing on the announcement. Surely they knew before today. This trumps the tears and Cahill let down.
ReplyDeleteBlackberry? But of course!
So I guess that's why he had a "bad" (bad is what the critics say, not me) season start because he's been rehearsing for the baby and he was really tired... lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway, i wish them a cute and healthy baby (that won't have roger's nose or mirka's figure) :P
If she's going to give birth this summer (counting summer until the end of august) then she has to be at least 3 or 4 month pregnant which means they're a bit late with the news... <_<
P.S. Who wants to bet that Fed is going to follow his good friend, Tiger Woods' example and sell the baby pics for good money? :P
Aw congrats to them!
ReplyDeleterich: you crack me up! hahahaha ralph lauren and MANGO federer! haha yeah listen to him irka! mango sounds nice hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat! Finally this woman will have a real baby, instead of babying that bf.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with this grand announcement "we are to become parents", like it's some royalty or something. Leave your woman out of limelight, that way noone will pick on her for being the power behind the throne.
ReplyDeletehaha Ralph and Lauren, totally works. Really like the name Ralph, and it sticks to the trend with the "R"
ReplyDeletelol love Mangooes :)
but really if u have a last name like "Federer" any name b4 it would work ;P
ANON: AH, THERE LIES THE REASON FOR ROGER'S BACKPAIN...WITH MIRKA'S WEIGHT ISSUES, SHE MUST'VE INJURED ROGER IN THE PROCESS...HA.HA.HA..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the happy couple! This is a big surprise, never considered Fed as much of a father type.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, hopefully the child gets the father's sports skills and the mother's good looks :P
I don't like Fed much, or Mirka, but I'm really happy for them and I wish them all the happiness in the world. I can't wait to see pictures of Mango Federer!
ReplyDeleteso happy for both of them!im sure federer will be a wonderful father.you can tell by the way he interacts with the children at his foundation in south africa.
ReplyDeleteI think The Worm was in Dubai a couple of month ago...
ReplyDeleteBtw the baby boy's name should be Rafael Blackberry Federer after the obsessions of the two parents!
OMG!!! Congrats to Rog and Mirka!! That's such great news. Wish them all the best! :))
ReplyDeleteAnd Rog will probably learn that there are things in life way more important than Grand Slam records...
BTW, Blackberry and Mango reeeeaaaally cracked me up! LMAO!!
I'm thinking it could also be some random Alps name (like Leni, Heidi Klum's daughter). ;)
I didn't think these two actually had, you know, relations...
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!
another reason to make Roger cry! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Roger! I hope it's a boy and grow up looking like Safin, be a lefty like Rafa, and inherit your nice looking pecs! ahhahahaha....... JK =)
